9. A silicon P-N structure is shown in Figure 3.1. The length of p-type is equivalent to the length of n-type. The diode has NA = Np = 1024 m³ and the minority carrier lifetime is 100 us and 150 us in p-type and n-type, respectively. The resistivity of the p-type material is 4.6x10³ 2m and the resistivity of the n-type material is 1.3x10 m at room temperature. Resistance of the intrinsic Silicon material is 5.5 M2. Electron mobility in n-type and hole mobility in p-type is 1/3 of the electron and hole mobility in the intrinsic material, respectively. Calculate the saturated current at room temperature.
